Welcome to our new website… and more

I’m delighted to welcome STAGE supporters to one of the many exciting developments at Willamette STAGE Company: our newly redesigned website. We hope you find it inviting,informative, and easy to navigate. We hope you’ll tell your friends and acquaintances about it. And we hope you’ll come back often to see what’s up at Willamette STAGE Company.

I want to give a special thanks to an old friend and colleague, Jay Thompson of Photographic Solutions in Eugene, who masterminded this redesign. Many of you know that Jay has been intimately involved with Willamette STAGE Company, not only from its inception, but from its conception. He’s been responsible for the “look and feel” of our marketing image, and he’s been our official photographer from the beginning. As importantly, his insights, advice, and support have been invaluable.

One thing you’ll discover if you do come back to the site is that I’ll be writing here on a regular basis — offering information about new STAGE developments and plans and those of our partners, sharing insights to our production and rehearsal process, introducing new faces, and keeping you apprised of new opportunities within the company. From time to time, I’ll also include my views on the local, regional, and national theatre and arts scenes.

I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts and to hearing yours, too. Please email me (robert@willamettestage.org) with any comments about the site, our shows, or my posts. If you haven’t done so yet, please join our mailing list to stay fully informed. To keep up with us, please click to the right to follow us on Twitter and through our RSS feed; that way, you’ll find out immediately whenever there’s an update. And while you’re at it, why not click through and “like” us on our Facebook page.

Thanks for your support over the past years. I appreciate it enormously, and I look forward to strengthening our relationship with you, our audience. Looking forward to visiting with you here and seeing you in the theatre.
